Nike Cuts Sustainability Staff Despite Carbon Goals

Nike has reduced its sustainability staff by around 30% since December, a decision that affects its climate commitments. This reduction has impacted the company's initiatives to lower its carbon footprint. Despite setting ambitious targets to cut its carbon footprint in half, Nike's recent layoffs prioritize short-term profits over long-term environmental responsibilities.
This move is unexpected with Nike's history of leading in sustainability. The company aimed to be an industry leader with innovative environmentally friendly materials and practices. However, recent financial pressures have shifted the focus away from these goals. Companies like Nike should double down on their sustainability efforts, not scaling them back.
